Merna is a mixed culture ale aged in oak. Brewed with a heavy amount of wheat and gently hopped in order to give the selected yeast and bacteria culture the ability to be fully expressed. Aged for 8 months in selected oak wine barrels, then package conditioned. Pours golden-orange, and has a sweet-tart/funky aroma rounded out by the oak presence. Originally brewed for our brewer Tim Doeschot's wife, we now share the love for all to enjoy!

Flaska från trade, 2022 b4. Ljusguldig med vit krona. Någorlunda stor syra, fräschör, lätt funk, mycket citrus, satsumas, stenfrukt, gröna druvor. Väldigt fruktigt.

Hazy, just a thin head. Nice aroma, buggy and fresh. On the palate, it's fairly tart, again buggy, and getting fairly lactic in the finish. It's kind of lemony, but a bit more assertive on the palate than it hints on the aroma.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a medium white head. Aroma brings out lots of bugginess, rustic notes, and oak barrels. Flavour is nice and buggy, with oak, and rustic saison yeast. Buggy, rustic, lightly tart and oaky. Nicely made.

Blend #3 bottle shared at Andrew's b-day bash. Pours a clearish gold with a finger of white foam. Pear, lemon, hay, horseblanket and oak dominate the nose. Some light yogurt on the palate with bright citrus zest, wet hay and sublte apricot notes. Light peppercorn, creamy oak and zest on the finish. Great carbonation throughout. Another great Perennial saison.
